Check out this amazing artist who's burning a map of the Realms onto leather.

Can't wait to see the final piece, so i'll be watching her site and linking to her on Google+.

I hope to see it on Pawn Stars one day, at which point I'll be taking a drive out to Nevada.

I gotta say that is the most impressive fan work I've ever seen. I would pay for that piece!

Indeed. It would almost be a shame to *ruin* the decorative appearance of the map with the application of place names, locations and so forth.

wow, wish I could see exactly what he's doing... it looks like there is actual depth, like he's cutting out pieces of leather to put on another piece of leather. Could just be an illusion though by camera.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

You could ask her via her Google+ profile or her website as per her process. I'm just watching in amazement, myself.

Thanks for the follow-up! I'd missed that post in my Google+ feed until I got the notice this subject had updated.

Prefect! I really do hope they decide to sell some copies of this wondrous map! I can imagine the faces of my players now if I were to lay this on the table and unroll it! God, they would be so envious! Not only that, it would also add so much flavor to playing D&D!

My one and only complaint is that it cuts off the utter east of Faerūn (as most maps of the continent do). I would have loved to have seen it go as far as Ulgarth and Semphar. Otherwise, I think it's absolutely brilliant.

When life turns it's back on you...sneak attack for extra damage.
